Abstract

Society is experiencing a significant aging over the next few decades [1]. This will result in an increase by 30% more elderly and retired people and an increase of 100% in the number of people above 85 years of age. This increase in age will require significant new services for managed care and new facilities for providing assistance to people in their homes to maintain a reasonable quality of life for society in general and elderly and handicapped in particular. There are several possible solutions to the aging problem and the delivery of the needed services. One of the potential solutions is use of robotic appliances to provide services such as cleaning, getting dressed, mobility assistance, etc. In addition to providing assistance to elderly it can further be envisaged that such robotic appliances will be of general utility to humans both at the workplace and in their homes, for many difierent functions.
